| Kings of Leon – Sex on Fire Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Nathan: I think that the song is about... sex. Caleb: Some people might think that the lyrics are corny... but if you've ever had really good sex, I don't think it's corny. Nathan: I don't know where Caleb got the lyrics for that one, cos I'm pretty sure he's saving himself for marriage. So I would probably say it's more a song of fantasy, like how he imagines it will go. But he's on to something, cos it's only a minute and a half song and he apologizes at the end. Haha love these boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvojy-SMdnE |

| Sam Roberts – Uprising Down Under Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulder As every day gets shorter and colder And hand in hand we walk through a land of fire The mountains bleed red as the sun gets higher All the things that you want I'll provide Till your footprint is swept away by the tide I can wait for a while, I don't mind I can wait for a while, 'cause I got time I wish it was less of the way it is I wish it were more of the way it could be You can put your faith in me for a while In the end I hope you're free 'cause I'll be out of style All the things that you want I'll provide Till your footprint is swept away by the tide And I can wait for a while, I don't mind I can wait for a while, I got time, I got time Whoever said you can't be saved by a song? Whoever said that was stringing you along We're all afraid to be dead and gone This will live on, it will live on, it will live on And all the things that you want I'll provide Till your footprint is swept away by the tide And I can wait for a while, I don't mind I can wait for a while, I got time And all the things you're looking for, I hope you'll find Before your footprint is swept away by the tide I can wait for a while, I don't mind I can wait for a while, 'cause I got time |

| Sarah Harmer – Salamandre Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Before someone asks what this is in English, roughly: Salamander, you have to help me understand all the mysteries of the forest, the secret map, the golden tree. I'm waiting for you patiently. Salamander, the two of us together. My solitude and boredom disappeared overnight--I've led a lonely (slow) life for so long. It's true, one day I'll be King. All of France awaits me. Every word I say will be made law. But for now, my only friend, please come quickly, I beg you. Salamander, the night is approaching, I think. The moon will be our candle. Welcome to my new life--our adventures await us--my Salamander. |

| Joel Plaskett – True Patriot Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| You're reading into it too much I think. Joel doesn't really do politics. It's more about lost love. | |
| Low Millions – Nikki Don't Stop Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "A lusty, sensuous, modern audio portrait of a tawdry encounter with the infamous Nikki. Even Prince might have felt compelled to pen a sequel to his own classic ("Darling Nikki") had he met the Nikki featured in this erotically-charged song." | |
| Low Millions – Money Thing Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "It's tough to feel desirable when you're subsisting on plain spaghetti and cold coffee, and the contents of those envelopes from the utility companies are no longer bills, but cancellation notices. Whoever said love don't cost a thing was lying." | |
| Low Millions – Hey Jane Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Captive in a room full of the ex's clothes/Bringing some of them up to his nose." Alone again, you are drinking to remember, not to forget." | |
| Low Millions – Diary Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Some people find their own diaries endlessly entertaining. This is a song for those curious souls who secretly prefer to pore over the contents of their lovers' private scribblings. If I can't read the truth in your face, I'll read it in your diary." | |
| Low Millions – Julia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "A sad song stamped with the familiarity of a standard you've heard on the radio a thousand times. A bittersweet sing-along for those who are always catching colds and missing trains." | |
| Low Millions – Statue Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Lights are switching off across the city. In the dark, you sit frozen, every muscle paralyzed, every nerve ending on edge, waiting for the phone to ring." | |
| Low Millions – Here She Comes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "A celebration of that state of borderline, blissful adoration, in which you see the object of your desire in every aspect of life, however mundane. Strangers in bars, faces in ads plastered on passing buses, and the local TV weatherman all seem to resemble your lover. " | |
| Low Millions – Low Millions Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Roll call. The confession of a self-professed, card-carrying member of the Low Millions, a group which, at any given moment, encompasses billions of individuals. The only prerequisite for membership in this fluctuating club is feeling down, whether you've stubbed your toe, lost your job, or your wife just walked out for good. In this instance, the question is not, 'Who are the Low Millions,' but rather, 'Who among us is not one of the Low Millions.'" | |
| Low Millions – Mockingbird Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "A postcard dispatched from a patient in the hospital of love. Diagnosis: Mild insanity, induced by the indecision and contradictions of one's beloved. Is that faint sound the sweet song of a nightingale, or the deceptive call of the lying mockingbird? The patient's condition grows increasingly unstable." | |
| Low Millions – Eleanor Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "You know you're in trouble when the person once affectionately known to you as 'baby' now only responds to his or her first name. The revocation of such a small, crucial privilege can only signal bad times ahead." | |
| Josh Ritter – Kathleen Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| And by "Bright Eyes", I clearly mean "Bright Smile". Oops! :) | |
| Josh Ritter – Kathleen Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I saw him live a few days ago, and I remember before playing a song, he said it was about prom night, and I thought he was going to play Kathleen. But he ended up playing something else, I forget what it was, perhaps "Bright Eyes". | |
| Limblifter – Vicious Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
If you like Limblifter, check out Age Of Electric. Ryan Dahle was in that band as well, with Kurt (his brother that was in Limblifter before, and now is in the New Pornographers). Age of Electric was the Dahle brothers and the Kerns brothers (Todd and John). Todd and John did another band after AOE broke up called Static In Stereo for a while, now Todd has a solo thing going, and John is in Robin Black and the Intergalactic Rockstars. It's all very confusing if you aren't familiar with this to begin with, and seems kinda incestuous haha. |

| Jimmy Fallon – Halloween Carols Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This was the first thing I ever saw Jimmy do on SNL. It was one of his first shows, and it made me laugh so much. I'm usually very critical of the SNL freshman, and he won me over with this. | |
| Alexisonfire – White Devil Lyrics | 20 years ago |

When introducing a song about cocaine, "White Devil," Pettit delivered one of several PSAs to come. "Nobody here has any business putting that shit up their nose." http://www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2004/07/0516.cfm Haha George is great! |

| The Ataris – The Saddest Song (2003) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| He wrote it for his daughter, and how he's not around a lot. Like his father wasn't around a lot in his childhood. So it's about those two things. | |
| Brand New – Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Alright, this is close to what a lot of you were saying, but as a girl who's done this (yeah I know, so shoot me, it was years ago), I'm gonna explain it my way. The girl: wants a relationship from this guy, or at least a deeper one, and she feels that she can get that from him if they have sex. The guy: feels guilty about it, isn't really ready. But feels like "I'm a guy, guys shouldn't pass up sex, suck it up, be a man, just do it" So he just goes with it, since his friends are all talking about it and such "Despite everything he learned from his friends..." That wasn't a very thorough explanation, but yeah... you get the gist of it. |

| Joseph Arthur – Honey And The Moon Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Such a beautiful song. It's one of those songs that I love so much that it gives me butterflies in my tummy. | |
| Rhett Miller – Come Around Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
thursdayisthecure > if you're stil interested, the lyrics are on Rhett's website at rhettmiller.com As for the song, I think it's about losing someone you loved, and not being able to imagine yourself with any other person ever, everything reminds you of them, and being convinced that unless you are with that one person, you're going to be lonely for the rest of your life. |
|
| Sarah Harmer – Dogs And Thunder Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| glytter_girl> It's actually a Weeping Tile song (Sarah's former band). It was released under that name a few times. Definitely check them out. Awesome stuff. | |
| The Get Up Kids – Anne Arbour Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| The song is definitely at least partially about Ann Arbour the city. I was at a GUK show tonight (in Toronto) and Matt said "This song is about your neighbours to the south... well, south and a bit west... Michigan" And then they played "Anne Arbour" :) | |
| The Weekend – Perfect World Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I don't download songs, but you can get the CDs through HMV.com or HMV stores. Or at the shows. | |
| I Mother Earth – Good For Sule Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
It's about a guy (Sule) who lives in America and has to decide whether to stay there with his wife and child, or go back to Africa and inherit the throne of his tribe. It's apparently a true story. Chris wrote this after coming home drunk and watching the documentary on A&E or some channel like that. |
|
| I Mother Earth – Another Sunday Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Oh, and in my opinion, IME are much MUCH better without Edwin. | |
| I Mother Earth – Another Sunday Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
Well, you've got one thing right... it IS the best piece of anything Edwin will ever be related to, because his solo stuff is shit. He never wrote anything with I Mother Earth though, Jag writes the music, Christian writes the lyrics. |

| Moneen – This Year I've Had Enough Lyrics | 22 years ago |
